Can I use frozen butternut squash?

Absolutely, Just thaw it completely and pat it dry before roasting to remove excess moisture.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yep, just use your favorite gluten-free pasta - the sauce works beautifully with any noodle.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Totally, Swap the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk and skip the Parmesan (or use a dairy-free alternative).

How do I store leftovers?

Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or milk to loosen the sauce.

The sauce freezes great. Just freeze it separately and cook fresh pasta when you’re ready to serve.
